As someone mentioned above:
Moviebob, what's your thoughts on Sucker Punch?
I really don't know what to make of it yet, the trailer is a cross between Onee-Chan Bara and Eragon, scented with a tinge of Gothika or something.

Am I the only one who's disappointed aboot Whedon? Sure he's good at what he does, but that is not doing films like the Avengers. Let him go back to space cowboys with quirky personalities, as that's what he does well.
I don't know, he has yet to prove himself on this one. Whedon has a lot of comic book cred because he's written for various teams over the years (very succesful runs on X-men and Runaways in particular).
I'm not that big a fan of most of his movies/series though I find them to at least be amusing. Firefly to me was a freak accident of awesome that he completely bollocksed up with that god-awful Serenity movie. And everywhere I look people praise that wreck, I don't get it, every interesting storyline from the series is turned into a dull matter of fact statement and River becomes space Buffy... Bleh.
But that's not the matter at hand here, its simply that Whedon has some serious comic book pedigree and this is his chance to translate it to the big screen.

As for the Infinity Gauntlet...wonder if Adam Warlock is going to show up, about time his orange tanned self graced the screen.
I don't think Warlock could fit. If you're introducing a new team you can't put in a Mr. Deus Ex and let him do the heavy lifting. This'll be a tale about the Avengers and Adam Warlock would just distract from that.
I'd love to see Adam and the Infinity Watch in the flesh though. I wonder which actress could pull off Moondragon. IE who's up for shaving their head this time around?
If they do wheel out Thanos (remember it hasn't been confirmed yet), my question is whether the Silver Surfer could return. Thanos was originally an enemy introduced in his books if I'm not mistaken.
